Brown 500ml bottle, no artificial or genetically modified ingredients. Poured into a Veltins Pilsner glass. Clear and bright, golden and lager looking (the glass helped to give the illusion), withits white head. The aroma however told you this wasn’t a lager/pilsner, the hops and yeast coming up from the glass instantly said, The UK. Very English in the taste, clean and bitter-sweet feel to it. Dry with an even more dryness in the aftertaste. A lot more body to it than the colour indicates. All in all, not bad.
